AIB Ulster Club Intermediate Football Championship Final

Magheracloone 1-15 Galbally 0-13                         30/11/19

Magheracloone booked their place with an impressive Ulster Club IFC Final win over Galbally in Armagh. The accuracy of the likes of goal-scorer Paudie McMahon and veteran Tommy Freeman helped Magheracloone push ahead of their Tyrone opponents en route to a well-earned win. The introduction of Michael Murphy gave Galbally a spark during the final quarter as they closed the gap, but Magheracloone maintained their composure as they became the first Monaghan winner of the Packie McCully Cup since 2013.
